Caffe bene – Myeongdong, Seoul Korea

It was really nice to not have a set schedule when you’re on vacation.  For our Korean trip, Fannypack and I have an understanding that it’ll be relaxed, not having to rush to sight-see and make time.  Some may think it’s a waste of a plane ticket, but we didn’t feel that way at all.  […]

Raincity Grill

Update:  This restaurant has closed. Groupon had a tasting menu deal for Raincity Grill, a place I had yet to visit, where 2 can dine for $95.  Wendy had taken her mother out for a previous Groupon tasting menu at Raincity and really enjoyed the meal, and since my mom was coming to visit I […]

Chop Steakhouse – New Year’s Eve Menu

I’m sure the fact that samples were tirelessly handed out helped a lot too. Among the flavors we sampled were Blueberry, Lemon Basil, Coffee, and Earl […]

Anniversary…Secrets…Chambar…Hole digging…..

Yep.  Hitman’s really done it this time.  He’s dug himself into a massive hole and frankly, I don’t think he’s gonna be able to get out of it. How could you be so careless???  Did you think of the consequences???  Apparently not! Geez you’ve done such a tremendous job on our first anniversary how are […]
